§MD4 - rs_md4 - Message Digest Algorithm 4

Important Note: This crate is still a work in progress and is not ready for consumption.

MD4 is a cryptographic hash function designed by Ronald Rivest in 1990. It’s considered to be broken in terms of security, but has been historically used in various applications including:

  • The NT LAN Manager (NTLM) security protocols in Microsoft Windows.
  • The File Verification feature in the BSD UNIX operating system.
  • Secure communication protocols like Transport Layer Security (TLS), Secure Shell (SSH), Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), etc.

This crate implements MD4 as part of the RustyShield project.
